Security for the Oil and Gas industry

Managing security risks is an essential business activity within the oil and gas industry. The range of security threats posed varies in scope and intensity and companies should ensure they have comprehensive security awareness and knowledge. The result of an attack on an oil structure could be catastrophic from several viewpoints (casualties, financial, ecological, logistical) and is therefore one of our largest areas of concern.

Without consistent security risk management strategies, companies can become extremely vulnerable and could be exposed to an increasing level of security instability and unpredictability.

Almost every company facility has security guards – at access control points, reception areas, around buildings and in industrial areas. They are in usually in uniform and represent an image of the company to the outside world, to employees and contractors. And every guard is also seen as a representative and a symbol of the security function of a company.

Providing protection for these sites is generally enforced by providing a restriction of access to hostile intrusion at the perimeter of the site thereby denying access to the vulnerable parts of the site. A good security strategy is to imagine the unthinkable and to have a plan to deal with it. That's part of our security assessment process which we have used successfully with all of our clients over the years. Security is not effective after the event!

Farm Security NFU Survey

By Matt Wiles • 02 Jun, 2021

A NEW survey by the NFU shows that over the past 12 months, one in three farmers has been a victim of crime, with Yorkshire farmers spending more than the national average on crime prevention measures. The NFU says it is, therefore, crucial that candidates in the forthcoming Police & Crime Commissioner elections commit to prioritise rural crime as a strategic objective. The survey, carried out by the NFU with nearly 2,000 farmers across the country, highlighted the extent to which rural areas are being actively targeted by criminals. It also focused on the cost of crime to farm businesses, how often crimes are reported and how farmers feel about the police response as well as how much farmers are spending on crime prevention. Nationally, farmers reported facing average losses of £4,400 as a result of rural crime and nearly 60 per cent of respondents said they believed crime levels were increasing. Reporting levels were good, with 60 per cent saying they reported the most recent incident to the police. But, of those that failed to do so, three out of five said it was because no police response was expected. While more than half of respondents felt that insufficient police resource was devoted to tackling rural crime, a slight majority (53 per cent) felt that the police had taken sufficient action when they reported the most recent crime. “The impact of crime on farms across our patch is the most common problem farmers raise with us time after time,” said NFU North East Regional Director, Adam Bedford.
